Real Madrid-Villarreal (2-0): in tears and on a stretcher, Dani Carvajal leaves with a serious injury to his right knee

His screams are enough to imagine the pain felt by Dani Carvajal this Saturday evening. The Real Madrid right-back was in tears after a clash with Yeremy Pino, at the very end of the match during the Merengue victory against Villarreal (2-0).

The scene happened at the end of added time (90th + 3). In a duel along the line, Dani Carvajal tried to clear the ball but hit the Villarreal player. He seriously injured his right knee on his extension and the images do not bode well. The winner of Euro 2024 with La Roja, whose name is circulating as a contender for the next Ballon d’Or, was evacuated on a stretcher.

Holder at the forefront of the attack, Kylian Mbappé was transparent. Not selected by Didier Deschamps to play in the French team’s October matches, the striker did not create any chances and took little part in the game. He was replaced in the 71st minute by Rodrygo.
